As the administrative and command center of the village, Hokage Building's priority is naturally the highest.
That night, after Technical Corps Ninja's emergency repairs and wiring, power was restored to the core area of Hokage Building.
The bright light shines from the windows, like a beacon guiding the direction in this still dark new village.
After debugging, ANBU immediately entered Hokage Building to start rearrangement.
In the building, various departments quickly moved into temporarily assigned rooms, and various documents piled up in piles.
Population statistics, material lists, casualty reports, mission records, post-war assessments, reconstruction plans, diplomatic correspondence...
After dawn, they came like a flood and were quickly sorted, filed, and processed.
In this busy scene, a figure who looked particularly old and stooped slowly walked into Hokage's Office on the top floor.
It is Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi.
In just one day, he experienced betrayal, bitter battles, serious injuries, the impact of his beliefs, and witnessed the destruction and rebirth of the village...
This old man seemed to have aged more than ten years all of a sudden.
His eye sockets were sunken, his face was ashen, and his walking pace was a little unsteady. Only those eyes, the moment he stepped into Office, still habitually became sharp, scanning this new environment.
What surprised him was that the layout and furnishings of Office, even the paintings on the wall and the position of the bookshelves, were almost exactly the same as the Office before it was destroyed.
However, the paintings of the four figures Hokage on the wall turned into wooden reliefs.
Even the large desk where he has been sitting for decades is the same, whether it is the texture of the wood, the curvature of the corners, or the arrangement of the drawers. The wood even feels stronger and warmer to the touch.
"Even this..."
Third murmured in a low voice, brushing his fingers across the smooth tabletop, feeling mixed emotions in his heart.
Naruto Do you remember even this kind of detail so clearly?
He walked behind the desk and opened the drawer almost instinctively and skillfully.
It was empty inside.
Third's movements paused.
He was silent for a few seconds, and then opened a few drawers next to them, which were also empty.
There are no familiar seals, notes, personal belongings, or... that thing.
Crystal Ball... Gone.
No more, no more...
Third slowly closed the drawer, leaned back on the wide and solid chair, and let out a long, silent breath of relief.
The tense shoulders seemed to relax a little.
This is good... this is good...
He curled up the corners of his chapped mouth, revealing a trace of curvature.
It's gone... it's gone.
Anyway, no one would know that he had used Crystal Ball to cast "Telescope Technique" to peek.
Those secrets that were annihilated along with the old Konoha, let them remain secrets forever.
A new village, a new beginning, maybe... it's time for some new rules and a more magnanimous way of doing things.
Just as Third was thinking about the empty drawer.
Inside Hokage Building and Confidential Archives, it's a different scene.
Naruto and Jiraiya are leading a group of Shadow Clone, like a hurricane passing through, frantically flipping through mountains of ancient Archives, dusty documents, and various Ninjutsu Secret Technique.
Scroll and documents were quickly opened, scanned, closed, thrown aside or placed in specific areas. The smell of old paper filled the air, as well as the sense of urgency brought by the silent but efficient actions of Shadow Clone.
"Where is Archives related to Senju, Sarutobi and Uchiha?"
Not only here, Tsunade's home and Sarutobi's Uchiha Homeland are also being raided by Naruto's Shadow Clone."
Naruto's Shadow Clone frowned, and his voice was unmistakably urgent.
Fifty of them Shadow Clone, each occupying an area, are like sophisticated human scanners, quickly searching for titles and keywords.
It's not because Naruto can only be divided into fifty Shadow Clone, but because this room can't accommodate more people.
What he is looking for is the record about Uchiha Hikari.
On the other side, Jiraiya is equally busy.
He rarely uses Shadow Clone on weekdays, because the fatigue of Shadow Clone will return to the main body.
But at this moment, he separated out five Shadow Clone without hesitation, and together with himself, he quickly flipped through the Scroll marked "Forbidden Jutsu", "Secret", and "Special Ninja Tools Record".
His goal is very clear.
"Telescope Technique's training Scroll... or related records, where were they hidden by the old man?"
That's right!
When Third was unconscious and sent to the hospital for rescue, Jiraiya took the opportunity to secretly hide the Third one and took away the Special Crystal Ball used to perform "Telescope Technique".
At this moment, Jiraiya is very anxious and wants to know where Telescope Technique is!
With that thing, it will be much easier to obtain materials by yourself in the future.
The main body of Naruto is Barrier that is placed in the new home to prevent Sensing.
Does anyone know where Third is that old guy's Crystal Ball? What if it is carried with me and is not destroyed?
This is called guarding against subtle changes.
The location of Naruto's new home was originally Uchiha Homeland in the Senju Clan.
In the early days of Konoha's village establishment, Senju, as one of the founders, owned a large area of land.
After all, the original Konoha only had two families, Senju and Uchiha, and the rest of the families came later.
As Senju Clan's bloodline withered and most people merged into Konoha anonymously, most of Uchiha Homeland had long since been taken back to the village or sold to others, but there are still some Land Deeds's residences and shops in the core area that still belong to Tsunade, the heir of the Senju Clan.
In order to prevent Tsunade from exporting Land Deeds of the Senju Clan, Third directly deducted it.
Tsunade's money outside the home mainly comes from three sources. One is the medical fees for her medical treatment, the other is the dividends and rent given to her by the Sarutobi Clan from managing Senju's property, and the third is borrowing money.
Yesterday, when Third was unconscious, Mito Uzumaki took Land Deeds back from Asuma and gave them all to Naruto.
Anyway, she, Hashirama and Tobirama are all in the state of Impure World Reincarnation, and Tsunade also ran out.
Naruto also simply built a yard here using Wood Release based on Hiashi's House and Third's House.
Kushina I am very happy that my home has become bigger and I have a small yard.
Kazahana Koyuki also booked a room and stayed temporarily.
Big Yellow is also very happy about the big yard and has been having fun since getting up in the morning.
Only Karin, who was forced to sleep in a separate room from Naruto, was unhappy.
Although the two of them used to share a bed and sleep on the floor, now they live in separate rooms.
The next day.
The entire Konoha is still in a state of "post-war reconstruction 2.0" that is in full swing but with clear division of labor.
Craftsmen and Electricians who make furniture have become popular.
Mission Assignment Center's tasks are pouring in like snowflakes.
Merchant Caravan began to quickly organize trips to the country of Land of Fire to purchase goods and then moved to Konoha for dumping.
Daimyo are also preparing to go back to their respective homes.
Kazahana Koyuki is also ready to leave. She came with Land of Fire Daimyo.
In order to ensure the smooth progress of cooperation between the two countries, she also needs to discuss follow-up matters with Land of Fire Daimyo.
Although the project is still arduous, it is much faster than cleaning up bit by bit from Ruins and rebuilding it brick by brick.
According to preliminary estimates, with the high-efficiency assistance of Ninja, it will take about half a month for the entire new Konoha to basically return to stable Water and Electricity Supply and Basic Living Facilities.
Just like what Orochimaru said, the villagers of Konoha are fearful of power and unethical.
After Konoha was instantly destroyed and then rebuilt, they obviously respected Naruto more.
